I am so grateful that I enrolled my kids here! They have an excellent curriculum, and the teachers and directors are PHENOMENAL! My daughter just loves Ms. Betts and had learned so much in her class! My son started reading early with the help of Mary Sears and remains advanced in reading today. They also have a great, fun summer camp for school age kids! They give the kids the best of both worlds....a fun education and love from the teachers providing it!

My son has attended Mary Sears in Manteno since he was three years old. He is now five, and not once have I ever had a complaint about this school. The staff is so professional and everyone is so nice! I decided on Mary Sears after a few friends told me they had their kids there and were very pleased with them. I had checked out a lot of other schools for my son but nothing compared to Mary Sears. They do so many fun things with the kids and my son loves the summer camp! From swimming, to pony rides, going apple picking, musicals, and much more, I would recommend this school to every parent. Thank you Mary Sears for everything you have done over the years for us! I love you guys!

My 2 year old daughter has been attending Mary Sears in Mantino since she was 14 weeks old. I am amazed at how much she has learned and how social she is. She started counting in spanish one day out of the blue and she has so many little friends. The teachers are all wonderful with the children and give great feedback. I also like the fact that there is no television watching during the day. The children are always doing projects or reading stories or having "dance parties" according to my daughter. As a first time mom it was so hard leaving my baby and going back to work but knowing she is in a safe place where her needs are being met and she is having fun makes the process so much easier!

Manteno Mary Sears has been a very positive experience for my 3 year old. Being an only child he has learned to cultivate and nourish friendships, but, most importantly, he consistently shows improvement in early childhood development such as mental and physical capabilities. There are other ‘daycare’ facilities in the area, however, I strongly believe the addition of the classroom setting is the difference that Mary Sears brings to the table

As life-longer learners ourselves, we were initially drawn to Mary Sears’ reputation of maintaining a strong, comprehensive curriculum. We quickly came to recognize that the school had much more to offer: A focus on being and thinking positive, respecting each other, and learning responsibility. Each day, we were greeted with a smile from the school directors, Mrs. Kueter or Mr. Patrick, and our children would run into their classrooms to begin the day. The kindergarten program exceeded my expectations from the curriculum to the in-class projects, parties, and numerous field trips. The preschool program was equally impressive, and included audio, visual, and tactile learning elements for early language, math, and science. All of the teachers have been patient, polite, warm-hearted, and extremely accessible.Both of our children have grown intellectually and socially as students at the Manteno MSCA, and we are proud to be a part of the Mary Sears family.

My daughter attend Mary Sears Academy in Manteno, Illinois. She has been attending since she was 12 weeks old and I cannot put in words how much she enjoys it there! As two working professionals my wife and I searched for the perfect place for our first child to attend. I am writing this to tell you that you will not find a better learning and fun environment for your child to be in. Everyday I drop her off I know that she is in very capable hands with the Staff and Directors at Mary Sears Academy, Manteno, Il. The Academy is so much more than a Day Care! It fosters learning and teaches discipline at the same time of allowing the kids to have fun. Mary Sears is a Five Star learning institution that I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for an amazing place for their children. Thanks Mary Sears!

Our daughters attend Mary Sears in Manteno. Selecting a child care provider can be an arduous process. The moment we stepped foot in Mary Sears we knew we found our answer. Our children aren’t just being babysat. Mary Sears provides guidance and education in a fun, loving environment. Years later, we are still very happy with our decision and we couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving our daughters in their care.

Mary Sears Children's Academy is a great facility. My daughter started there when she was 10 months old, and is now 4 and still attends. She has strived greatly and continues to strive every day. I knew once I obtained my degree Mary Sears would be the right environment for not only my daughter, but for me also. I have now been at Mary Sears for several months, and I absolutely love the environment we are providing for the children who attend. All of my coworkers are compassionate people that truly care for the children and what is best for them. The nurturing yet structured curriculum we provide is the perfect combination needed for children to grow and be successful.

I have worked at MSCA since October 2014 and I can honestly say that this is the best facility I have ever seen. I am very proud to say that I am employed here and even though my child is school age now she attends after school, some mornings before school and on days that school is not in session. I wish that this particular facility was here when she was younger because the structure, schedule, and curriculum set the children that attend here on a regular basis at an advantage. It is a clean, caregiving and well run environment that I have and will continue to refer people with children to consider when thinking about childcare.

I am a teacher at Mary Sears Children's Academy in Manteno, and I am thrilled to work here. I come to work everyday with a smile because I know I'm around teachers who love their job just as much as I do, and children who love to learn. The program at Mary Sears Children's Academy is deisgned to challenge children in a way they enjoy. Activities are made to boost not only knowledge but also instill qualities these children can take with them as they grow. I have taught at Mary Sears Childens Academy for 2 years now and I am proud to say its the most rewarding job I've had. My two year old daughter Is also enrolled here and I am so impressed with how much she learns everyday. I love seeing her come home everyday and be excited to go back tomorrow! I invite everyone to call and schedule an appointment to walk through and see for yourselves what our school can offer your child. I know you'll be just as impressed as I am!
